Since playing adventure games I have added some words to my vocabulary that I would oterwise never have known about or known the meanings of...But they are prevalent in adventure games lol are there any you never knew about?Words i am talking about are

Ankh

Bas Relief

I am sure there are lots more cant think of them off hand now tho...lol

The thing is, I'm not sure how factually accurate my knowledge is. I sure seem to know a lot about the rumored shenanigans of the Knights of the Templar. And the Nazis? Who knew they had so many strange hidden agendas?

But I've also acquired some odd bits of knowledge about other subjects. Like Base-4 and Base-12 numbering systems. And I think, with a quick review, I could probably pass a quiz on the Mayan Calendar.

I don't think I've ever played an adventure game with an accurate portrayal of the Knights Templar other than a brief history in Treasure Hunter.

But if you play RAMA, you can add Base 8 (octal) to your collection.

Funny how the Knights Templar have become so popular in games, books, and movies.

Never played Treasure Hunter or RAMA. Just looked up RAMA: an interesting classic. I was trying to remember where I ran across the other Base Number systems. Was it in Myst games? Sentinel? The Aura games? Mysterious Journey? Seems like I had to work with these different numbering systems in a few games.

Also, after playing adventure games, I'd like to think I've gained some rudimentary skill in electrical circuitry, plumbing, and small engine repair ... but I have my doubts.

I don't remember any "other base" puzzles in either the Myst games or the Aura games, but it's possible I'm forgetting.

Schizm (Mysterious Journey) and Schizm 2 (Mysterious Journey 2) certainly had them. The puzzles in both games had to do with figuring out alien numbers that used a numbering system other than base 10.

I can't remember if Sentinel had a puzzle that used other bases or not. But considering that the developer (Detalion) used them in Schizm 1 and 2, it's possible that there was an "other base" puzzle in Sentinel too. Maybe someone else remembers.
